Otoplasty in Newport Beach

Achieve the Silhouette You’ve Always Wanted with Ear Pinning

Having ears that are particularly prominent or unusually-shaped can often
make a person uncomfortable with how they look. Teasing from peers as
a child may result in adults who choose certain hairstyles to hide their
ears, or who otherwise lack confidence in their appearance. If this sounds
familiar to you, our team at Wirth Plastic Surgery can help. We are proud
to offer otoplasty procedures in Newport Beach to help reposition and
reshape the ears, bringing them into greater balance with the rest of
your features. With years of experience behind him, Dr. Wirth and the
rest of his surgical team have everything you need to help you feel more
confident than ever.

Understanding the Otoplasty Procedure

Most commonly, otoplasty refers to the ear pinning procedure which brings
the ears closer to the head so they are less prominent. It can also mean
reshaping the ear or reducing its size to help balance your features.

Otoplasty may be the right option for you if:

Your ears protrude significantly from your head

Your ears are unusually shaped, or out of proportion with your head

Your ears are uneven or asymmetrical

The procedure is almost always focused on the back of the ear, meaning
any scarring that may occur is generally invisible. Patients generally
experience mild discomfort for a few days after the surgery, during which
time the surgery site will have soft dressings. During the healing process,
side sleepers may experience an adjustment period, as they cannot put
pressure on these areas until fully healed. It is important to maintain
good post-operative care as directed by our team for best results!
